Space Weather News for Nov. 16, 2005
http://spaceweather.com
BIG SUNSPOT: An impressive sunspot, "NOAA 822," has appeared on the
Earth-facing side of the sun. Measured from end to end, it is wider than
Jupiter, and it is crackling with M-class (medium-sized) solar flares. So
far none of the explosions has hurled a coronal mass ejection toward Earth.
Geomagnetic storms and auroras are possible, however, if this 'spot
unleashes a major flare in the days ahead.
TAURID FIREBALLS: The Taurid meteor shower, which peaked in early November
and should be subsiding, continues to produce fireballs, according to
reports submitted to the American Meteor Society. If you're outside at
night this week, keep an eye on the sky for bright meteors.
